Intermediate Zones is an artistic research project rooted in Decentering Design. It works with the blind spots of human perception, logic, and assumption, treating bias and mediation not as errors to be corrected but as conditions to be acknowledged.
“How to see? Where to see from? What to see for? Whom to see with? Who gets to have more than one point of view? Who gets blinded? Who wears blinders? Who interprets the visual field?”

Approaching the campus as a multispecies assemblage, the project explores non-anthropocentric modes of engagement while recognising that every encounter remains human-initiated and technologically mediated. Intermediate Zones name these partial, unstable situations—where attempts to decentre the human are bound to fail. Yet it is precisely within these failed mediations that something persists: residues of encounter, moments of resonance, traces that resist full representation and may, nonetheless, become productive.
